: “Fresh from the Gardens” 


’ Bitead' States ; The ILO. 


More than ordinary significance attaches to recent decision of the 
American Congress to apply for full membership of the International Labor 
Organization at Geneva, usually referred to as the ILO. Not only will ac- 


i 


{zation now enjoys, but, bringing as it will the U.S. into direct confrontation 
with this important branch of League of Nations’ activity, the move will do 
much to restore prestige lost by the parent body through recent defections, 
notably that of Japan. 

Press despatches have revealed little of the background, few of the 
nfotives, behind this change of front ‘on the part of the Washington govern- 
ment. It is true, of course, membership of the International Labor Organ- 
ization does not involve endorsement of the League covenant, nor does it 
entail any political commitments to the League as such, In fact, the U.S. 
desire to provide adequate safeguards against the “foreign entanglements” 
that country has so rigorously eschewed since the war, is exemplified in the 
act of Congress which specifically declares that the United States, by mem- 
bership in the ILO, shall assume “no obligations under the covenant”. 

This, of course, is possible. The International Labor Organization, like 
the World Court upon whose bench the United States long has been repre- 
sented, is an autonomous section of the League of Nations. Membership in 
either or both is possible without acceptance of' the covenant. Germany, as 
@ matter of fact, was an active, full-fledged member of the ILO for six | 
years before becoming a member of the League of Nations. The connec- 
tion between the organization and the League is derived not from the 
covenant but from the charter of the ILO, which is Part XIII. of the Treaty 
of Versailles. 

The International Labor OrPanization is, however, much closer to the 
League than is the World Court for the reason that it is, essentially, a 
means of getting international legislation enacted, or treaties negotiated, as 
is the League itself. The heart of the League system is its permanent 


ers aneenaemdaeey 


mechanism for continuous international negotiation, and the ILO parallels 
this machinery throughout, in its limited field of social questions. 

The importance of the United States’ decision to join the International 
Labor Organization, therefore, can best be deduced by considering it in rela- 
tion to the economic problems created by varying standards of living, hours 
of labor and rates of wages, in nations now competing for foreign markets, 
and also by contrasting the present action.with Washington’s past attitude 
towards the Geneva labor office. 

Hitherto, the United States has been far colder to the ILO than to any 
other branch of League activity. Until one year ago, the United States 
government would have nothing whatever to do with the labor organiza- 
tion, but now, without any parade or ballyhoo, Congress has accepted, vir- 
tually without demur, the proposal to apply for membership. This will in- 
volve representation on the permanent secretariat at. Geneva and ultimate 


appointment of American <Siheaet ocr rms to the personnel of the central 
office. . 


Psychologically, th m of Washington will have. more far-reaching 


_ Germany and Italy “furiously to think” for, if 
President Roosevelt can persuade Congress to make so complete a volte 
face in so short a time in connection with one great section of League 
activity, it follows that but little additional pressure would be required to 
convert his legislators to the idea of accepting the League covenant. 
Despite present reticences, and the insistence upon non-political safeguards, 
American opinion relative to the League is undergoing a change—and 
that change is not so far short of accepting League membership as to make 
that end remote. If it come to pass that the United States enter the 
League, that body will immediately assume grander and nobler proportions 
in the eyes of the world, and the dreams of those who called it into exist- 
ence will be within sight of fulfillment. 


Sportsmen Will Pay Ten Dollars For|Hundred-Mile Wide Shelter Belt

Despite the efforts made to stop the

fighters glare at each other until 
such time as their ire is sufficiently 
aroused for the attack. Large stakes 
change hands during the fights.

recently by the American Tree Asso- 
ciation. Planting in the 100-mile 
wide area would be in strips, running 
north and south. 

There would be 100 strips of trees, 
or one to a mile. The shelter belt 
would stretch 1,800 miles through 
North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne-

Texas border.

Project May Succeed 


‘| New Process Being Tried To Dredge 


Gold From Fraser River 

The golden wealth in the sands of 
the Fraser river, which has till now 
proved largely elusive to the efforts 
of man, and of which there is said to 
be enough to pay the national debt of 
Canada many times over, is to be at- 
tacked this summer with a new ‘type 
of dredge, and with what appears to 
be every prospect of success. 

The structure, now nearing com- 
pletion, is the largest work of its 
kind ever attempted on the Pacific 
coast, incorporating for the first time 
anywhere in the world an entirely 
new process as applied to gold dredg- 
ing. 

Built under the engineering advice 
and supervision of Hume Robertson, 
placer mining engineer, who has had 
20 years’ experience in that kind of 
work with British companies in the 
Malaya*-Pehinsula, the great hulk 
may now be seen assuming final 
shape at the shipyards of B.C. 
Marine Engineers and Shipbuilders 
Limited. 

Hydraulic pumps, with suction 
strength of 200 pounds to the square 
inch, created by two 500-h.p. motors 
will raise the sands from the bottom 
of the river and the complete process 
of, washing and refining will be com- 
pleted upon the dredge. 

Capacity, with the present equip- 
ment, is placed at 12,500 cubic yards 
a day, but provision has been made 
for double the present sluicing area 
by the addition of an upper deck, on 
an incline of 13 feet from bow to 
stern. 

The whole operation will be elec- 
trically driven with individual motors 
and control switches on the bridge 
towards the bow of the structure. 
Present estimates indicate an oper- 
ating cost of not more than two 
cents a cubic yard. 

Hydro-electric plant is to be con- 
structed on Jones Creek, near where 
the dredge will be put into operation, 
and will generate 2,000 horse-power. 
It is understood that work upon this 
phase of the undertaking is to start 
at once. 

If the operation of the first dredge 
proves successful—and every possible 
safeguard against failure seems to 
have been taken—-the company will 
proceed to the construction of other 
dredges of similar model. 

Smaller units will: be needed in 
some parts of the river under lease, 
but all will incorporate the present 
equipment, with such improvenie#ts 
as practice may suggest. 

Problem In South Africa 
Many Pupils With Scottish Names 
Speak No English 

As in Quebec so in South Africa 
there are people with pure Scottish 
names like Campbell, Fraser and 
MacDonald, who speak little or no 
English, Dr. 8S. H. Bloemfontein, 
Director of Education of the Orange 
Free State in the Union of South 
Africa, remarked after an investiga- 
tion of Quebec school conditions, 

Dr. Pellissier went to Quebec to 
study the question of bilingualism 
and how it is handled in Quebec. In 
South Africa they have the same 
problem, the majority of the pipils 
speaking Dutch and the minority 
English. They also are faced with the 
difficulty of educating children in the 
outlying sections, as in Quebec. 

Dr. Pellissier said the children with 
the Scottish names are the descend- 
ants of settlers who married Boer 
women. They gave their names to 
their wives but the mothers passed 
their own language to their off- 


spring.

Seine ‘kong Sleeps 


\ 
Bit Record Of Rip ‘Vah Winkle 
Still Stands 

A Huddersfield man has had no 
sleep for eight weary years. Not 
even morphine can give him an hour 
of real sleep. How he must envy 
such a man as W. Foxley, pot-maker 
to the Mint, who fell asleep on April 
27th, 1546, and slept serenely for 
fourteen days and fifteen nights. 
Fourteen days is only a nap compar- 
ed with the exploits of some sleepers. 
A German civil servant named Arn- 
heim, forty-five years old, slipped 
one evening as he got out of a tram 
and knocked his head on the pave- 
ment. He was taken home and put 
to bed. The doctors said there was 
no concussion or serious injury. Next 
morning he was still asleep, and he 
slept for two years and four months. 
He was a wreck when at last he 
woke, yet in the end he recovered. 
There was the famous Marguerite 
Bovenval, “the Sleeping Woman of 
Thenolles,” who was thrown into a 
trance-like sleep by a. fright and 
slept for nineteen years and six 
months. Then she slowly roused, was 
able to talk, but she was wasted to a 
skeleton, and died five months later. 
The record Rip Van Winkle is an 
American, a farmer called Harms. 
He came in one evening, tired after 
a long day’s work, went to bed and 
slept for twenty-six years. It was 
possible to rouse him to take food, 
but he could not stay awake more 
than five minutes. Like the French 
woman sleeper, he wasted away and 
died. 


French Company Will 
Survey Bear Lake 


If Report Is Satisfactory Capital 
_ Will Be Invested 

A vast amount of French capital 
will be invested in development in 
the Great Bear Lake mining district, 
providing that a survey to be made 
this summer by Dr. Edmund Bruet, 
who arrived at Edmonton from Paris, 
proves satisfactory. 

Dr. Bruet, answering questions 


which were interpreted by Paul] 


Jenvrin, former French consul at 
Edmonton, stated that there was no 
question of large scale development 
being undertaken if his report recom- 
mends such action. 

Dr. Bruet is vice-president and 
director of Omniyum, a large French 
company which is interested in min- 
eral resources all over the world. It 
has organized a Canadian branch 
which would carry on the work in 
the north country. 

The company is interested ‘e gold, 
silver, pitchblende, and any of the 
other mineral discoveries in the far 
north. 

Also representing the department 
of natural resources at Paris, Dr. 
Bruet also will study the habits and 
conditions of the Indian tribes in the 
north, He also expects to take back 
to Paris specimens of plant life and 
also insects found in the north coun- 
try. 


Queen’s Voice Over Radio 

For the second time in the history 
of broadcasting the queen’s voice will 
probably be heard on the wireless in 
September, the occasion being the 
launching of the Cunarder, No, 534, 
at Clydebank, Her Majesty having 
been heard on the wireless in the 
early days of the British Broadcast- 
ing Corporation. 


Find Gold In Meteorite 

Science's first recorded discovery 
of gold that has fallen from the sky 
to the earth was reported at Berke- 
ley, Calif., by Dean Gillespie, of Den- 
ver, before the meeting of the Ameri- 
can Association for the Advance- 
ment of Science. Minute amounts of 
gold were detected in a meteorite 
found near Melrose, N.M.

By Doing So Russia Would Gals 
Confidence Abroad 

Russia, it is said, plans to enter 
the League of Nations, and is only 
delaying to decide what manner of 
entry would leave it the Jeast ex- 
plaining to do as to why it stayed 
out so long. 

A chivalrous desire to help keep 
peace in Europe is credited to Mos- 
cow, no doubt correctly. But there 
is shrewdness, as well as chivalry 
in ‘the move. Stalin has troubles 
enough, without having to keep 4 
watchful eye always on the western 
front. 

In particular he has occasion to 
focus attention on the far end of his 
dominion, in which quarter Japan is 
carving out a place for itself in the 
Oriental sunshine without much re- 
gard for what Russia may want. 

Joining the League would be for 
Russia the next thing to making a 
general treaty of inoffensiveness 
with Europe, and leave the Soviet 
directorate freer to pay attention to 
urgent matters in the Far East. 

Japan undoubtedly sacrificed a 
measure of world confidence when it 
quit the League. Russia would cor- 
respondingly gain confidence abroad 
if it joined the League and thus as- 
sociated itself with the proclaimed 
purposes of that organization.—Ed- 
monton Bulletin. 


"Indian Rope Trick A Myth 


Occult Committee Says No One Has 
Ever Seen It 

As the result of a solemn inquest 
held by the Occult committee of the 
Magic Circle—a group of bona fide 
scientists—the Indian rope trick to- 
day reposes under a headstone offici- 
ally chiseled “myth”. 

Nobody, evidence before the com- 
mittee showed, has ever performed 
the rope trick—wherein an Indian 
fakir is supposed to toss a limp rope 
vertically into the air, whereafter a 
boy nimbly climbs out of view into 
the heavens. Nobody could be found 
who had seen the trick done. So, 
in effect, the occultists found that 
neither the rope nor the story will 
“stand up”. The group has offered 
$2,500 to anyone who will perform 
the feat, 

Lord Ampthill, once viceroy of In- 
dia, presided over the committee's 
meeting. 

How India was scoured and large 
rewards were offered futilely for a 
rope trickster when King George .nd 
Queen Mary toured India early in 
their reign was told by Sidney 
Clarke, chairman of the Magic 
Circle. 

Even the great Nizan of Hydera- 
bad, with limitless resources, was 
unable to locate a juggler who could 
do the rope trick, when asked . to 
provide one for a giant garden party, 
related his friend, Sir Michael 
O'Dwyer. In 25 years in India, Sir 
Michael never found anyone who had 
seen the trick. 

Harry Price, director of th- “Ja- 
tional physical laboratory, said he 
had collected a library of 12,000 
books about magic, and not one con- 
tained any genuine evidence about 
the trick, 

Sir Francis Griffin, formerly an 
‘inspector-general of police in India, 
imputed belief in the rope trick to 
the power of suggestion, like the im- 
pressionable American lady of travel 
who said the most remarkable thing 
she had seen in all India was the 
sun setting behind the Aga Khan. 


British Aviatrix On Visit - 


Amy Mollison Made Short Stay In 
New York 

Feeling “very fit” Amy Mollison, 
British aviatrix, arrived on the liner 
Majestic for a short visit in New 
York. 

Since the crash in Connecticut of 
the plane in which she and her hus- 
band, James Mollison, made a west- 
ward crossing of the Atlantic in 
1933, she had done little flying, she 
said; “just a little for my own pleas- 
ure.”’ 

She said that she and Mollison 
were looking forward with enthu- 
siasm to the England-Australian air 
races next October in which they will 
participate. 


Turns Page In History 


British Girl Retains Nationality Al- 
though Married To Frenchman 

An English girl of 21 has turned 
a new page in the story of English 
women’s fight for equal rights with 
men. 

For pretty Ina Ginn, of Stanmore, 
Middlesex, has become Mme.—or 
rather Mrs. Lucien Albert of Paris— 
and retained her British nationality. 
She is the only Englishwoman to 
have married a Frenchman—or any 
foreigner—and remained British. 

Shyly she told of how she wrote to 
the Home Secretary on her engage- 
ment, explaining her patriotic de- 
sire; of the long negotiations with 
French and Bri authorities. 

She went to Paris to be married— 
on Boxing, Day. Since then, pre- 
sumably, she has had no nationality 
—until now. 

She displayed the new British pass- 
port, in her married name, which 
she has just received. Written in by

Machine Reads Minds 


Graph Paper Takes Record Of 
Reactions On Brain 

The old story about the walls of 
jerry-built houses being so thin that 
you could hear your neighbor chang- 
ing his mind seems likely to come 
very near the truth. A machine in- 
vented by Dr. Alexander Cannon 
records any mental reaction, and con- 
sists of flexible tubes which are at- 
tached to a human subject. The 
reactions of the brain are recorded 
on graph paper. Simple emotions 
like surprise, love, hate, are record- 
ed, and the machine also registers 
mental fatigue, the capacity of the 
mind, reaction to tension or concen- 
tration, suicidal tendencies, and|. 
whether the subject is telling the 
truth or lying. Among other things, 
it shows that waltz music is sooth- 
ing, and that it relieves asthma by 
inducing regular breathing. It is 
also claimed that it proves telepathy 
to be a physical fact.

the anfiual report of that force tabled 
in the House of Commons, is Acting 
Sergeant D. E. Forslund, who serves 
in “K” (Alberta) division. 

Not only does Sergeant Forslund 
excel with the rifle, but he also is 
@ sure marksman with the revolver, 
He is the present holder of the Con- 
naught cup. While attending an in- 
structional class at Regina, he fired

When Mark {Twain was a young

“Mr. Clemens,” she said, “I al- 
ways see you with a cigar box under 
your arm. I am afraid you are

“It isn’t that,” said Mark, “I am

Sensitivity to beauty and to ideas,

Unified Empire Air Force 


Plan Does Not Meet With Favor Of 
British Government 

The British government turned 
down a motion for a unified Empire 
air force. Lord Londonderry, min- 
ister for air, frankly told the house 
of lords the government had lost 
hope in the disarmament conference. 
The situation unhappily had become 
all too clear, he said. 

“We can no longer hope an inter- 
national convention will solve the 
problems which agitate the whole of 
Europe,” said the minister. 

“His Majesty's ‘government there- 
fore have decided they can no longer 
delay the steps that are necessary to 
provide adequately for the air de- 
fence of these shores.” 

He referred to the government’s 
decision, announced some time ago, 
to build up the Royal Air Force un- 
til it is as big as any other air force 
within ‘striking distance”. 

But .the government could not 
accept the motion submitted by Vis- 
count Blibank, which urged the crea- 
tion of an imperial air force and the 
summoning of a special imperial de- 
fence conference to consider the 
question, the minister added, 

Lord Londonderry pointed out that 
the defence resolution adopted at the 
imperial conference of 1928 recog- 
nized that it is for the parliaments 
of the several parts of the Empire, 
upon the recommendation of their 
respective governments, to decide the 
nature and extent of any action 
which should be taken by them. 


Training School For Dogs 


Potsdam Has Provided Many Blind 
Soldiers With Guides 

A training school for blind men’s 
dogs celebrated the tenth annivers- 
ary of its foundation in Potsdam re- 
cently. During the past ten years 
the school has provided hundreds of 
blind Germans, especially soldiers, 
with dogs scientifically trained in the 
offices of bodyguard and guide. At 
present there are forty dogs in the 
school preparing for their final ex- 
amination. The majority dre . pure- 
blooded sheep-dogs two to three 
years old, The course lasts three 
months. The first and hardest les- 
son the dogs have to ledrn is to lose 
or at least not to show their interest 
in their fellow-kind. Lofty disre- 
gard, they are taught, must be the 
answer to another dog’s barking, for

passed all its examinations its mas-

himself spends three weeks there so 
that master and dog understand each 
other before they come to depend 
entirely upon each other. 


Producers’ poultry .pools, where

What's In A Name 


Story About Violins Proved Beauty 
Of Melody Depends On Player 


ed the melody with an ordinary violin 
or “fiddle” costing about $100, Then 
he asked the radio listeners to write 
in and say which was the $30,000 in- 
strument and which the $100 one. 

Eleven per cent. did not notice any 
difference, 54 per cent. guessed the 
$100 violin was the $30,000 one, and 
85 per cent. gave the right answer. 

A few years ago a firm of violin 
makers in London named Hill invited 
a@ committee: of experts to judge be- 
tween a Stradivarius violii and one 
of their own make from stock. A 
skilful musician played on the two 
instruments behind’ a screen. The 
unanimous decision of the committee 
was that the Hill violin was the 
Stradivarius. 

All of which goes to show that this 
old master fetish is largely an affec- 
tation. The instrument does not mat- 
ter so much as the “soul” that the 
player puts into the performance. A 
soulful musician can make a homely 
violin or piano sound like a benedic- 
tion from Heaven, whereas an ordin- 
ary player on a Stradivarius or a 
Steinway couldn't stir any emotion 
in a listener. ‘ 

The same goes for art. Pictures 
may hang in a private collection or 
in a store for years and not attract 
attention from the connoisseur, then 
suddenly somebody discovers upon it 
the name of a famous artist who has 
been dead a hundred years or more, 
and immediately it becomes of fabu- 
lous value. Nothing has been done 
to it to alter its appearance. It re- 
mains the same fine picture or the 
same bad one as before.

The Nerviest Insect 


Thieving Cockroaches Give Trouble 
In New York Zoo 

Dr. Raymond L, Ditmars, the great

roach is one of the boldest thieves 
in the animal kingdom. This nervy 
insect will eat the skin right off the 
biggest snake in any zoo. When the 
zoo snakes shed their skins, the keep- 
ers save them up for the natural his-

ally they like to get these skins whole 
and in perfect condition. But be- 
cause of audacious and voracious 
cockroaches the skins often look like 
something the moths have been at.

thieving cockroaches by posting bull- 
frogs as sentries around the snake 
cages during the skin-shedding sea-

Heat Energy In Straw 


Process For Storing Gases Being 
Studied By Scientists 


A hint that we are overlooking 
the existence of an immense supply 
of energy in some of the waste pro- 
ducts from farms, is revived by C. 
H. Bailey, a scientist of the Uni- 
versity of Minnesota, who addressed 
an organization of flour millers and 
cereal chemists at Toronto recently. 

Mr. Bailey made the statement 
that chaff and straw in Canada and 
the United States was capable of 
producing more heat than all the 
anthracite coal produced in the 
United States during a year. 

There have been numerous experi- 
ments in Western Canada in efforts 
to utilize the straw resulting from 
the annual harvest. Several times it 
was said that a process for storing 
gases from burning straw had been 
perfected, but this proved incorrect} 
and so far as is generally known the 
tremendous quantities of wheat 
straw in Western Canada and the 
United States are still a total loss 
and have to be got rid of by a waste- 
ful process of burning in the fields. 

The chemists recognize that heat 
is a potential source of power. Mil- 
lions of tons of wheat straw are an- 
nualy consigned to the flames in the 
agricultural areas of Western Can- 
ada and the United States. If the 
energy thus liberated could be stored 
in some way the country would be 
possessed of enormous reserves of 
power to do essential work. To-day 
science is very alert in the study of 
these problems. It may be that one 
of these days this problem will be 
solved and a new source of revenue 
will be provided for the western 
farmers, who are badly in need’ of 
such a benefaction. 


Animals Have Vocabulary 


Phrase “Our Dumb Friends” Was 
Always A Libel 

The average man or woman who 
likes animals and is convinced that 
his or her pet understands a half 
dozen familiar commands may be 
surprised to learn that several “ani- 
mal dictionaries” have been written. 

Gabriele D’Annunzio, the Italian 
poet, has announced that he will in- 
clude a complete glossary of the 
canine language in his new book, 
“Lives of Illustrious Dogs.’ The book 
is to be modeled after Plutarch’s 
“Lives”. 

Other animals whose vocabularies 
have been recorded, are the monkey, 
the horse, and the cat. An Ameri- 
can woman, Miss Blanche W. Learn- 
ed, was responsible for classifying 32 
terms of the chimpanzee, together 
with the meaning of each. Other 
scientists have tabulated 12 words of 
the Marmoset language and 14 of the 
Gibbon’s.

increase the growth of grass at the 
expense of clover. 

Nitrogen, while stimulating piunt 
growth, soon loses its power unless 
fortified sufficiently with phosphates 
and potash, particularly the .ormer. 

Losses of fertility from farm m:n-

litter, watertight floors, covered 
manure pits, and by getting the 
manure into the land as quickly as 
possible.

When Miss Amy Johnson flew to 
Australia in twenty days the regu- 
lar air line ended at Karachi, and she 
was continuing along a route where 
no woman had flown before. Miss 
Batten, taking the same trail in the 
same type of aeroplane, also had 
some reason for enduring the strain 
of long days alone in the air. She 
had not seen her father in New 
Zealand for a long time and she 
wanted to get there quickly. She 
reached Darwin in fifteen days. A 
few months hence the mails will need 
only fourteen days for the journey 
from London to the great cities in 
the south of Australia. Instead of 
travelling, as these two women pilots 
did, at a speed of eighty miles an 
hour, the mails will be taken in the 
new Diana air line at a speed of 145 
miles an hour.

Japanese Officials Find They Have 

More Soldiers Than They Need 

The problem of what to do about 
the Manchurian army, now in the 
uniforms of the state of Manchou- 
kuo, is disturbing the Japanese ad- 
visers and administrators of the new 
government. 

In the days of Chinese domination 


an army of more than 300,000 was

the budget. 

In additic- there are more than 
50,000 Japanese soldiers in Man- 
churia, paid and maintained by the 
Japanese empire. 

Originally the Japanese high com- 
mand in Manchuria figured that the 
Manchoukuo army need not exceed 
35,000 to 40,000 men, but the ques- 
tion now is what to do with the extra 
85,000 to 90,000 unwanted Manchou- 
kuo soldiers. If they are disbanded, 
as some have been, they return to 
banditry. Kept in uniforms and in 
barracks, and subjected to training 
and discipline, they become restless 
and a danger. They frequently mut- 
iny. When sent on anti-bandit cam- 
paigns they refuse to fight unless in- 
trespersed, squad for squad, with 
Japanese soldiers.

CHAPTER LI. 


_ -Avis managed to visit the exhibit 
alone with John Danforth on the 
day before the final vote would be 
east for the winner of the Paris 
scholarship. She had made the co- 
incidence seem casual enough. And 
her interest in art had elicited her 
uncle's unqualified approval from the 


esthetic appreciation, which was one 
of the few disappointments of his 
life. So, when his niece not only 
patronized the profession but actu- 
ally won her degree at National, he 
was immensely proud, and sympa- 
thetic with her plans and interests. 

So generous was his measure of 
approval that he had purchased one 
of her best paintings and hung it in 
his library, though he had to admit 
to himself that she couldn't have sold 
it elsewhere for a song. But he ad- 
vocated that praise stimulates effort 
and encourages ambition. 

He was particularly noted for his 
philanthropy to talent, and not a 
small part of the Paris scholarship 
fund was responsible to his gener- 
osity; but he never permitted his left 
hand to suspect what kept his right 
hand so busy. 

“The judges have no easy task, I 
can tell you that,” he confided to 
Avis at the exhibit. “It was difficult 
even to eliminate the entries.” 

“Do only beauty and perfection of 
detail enter into the consideration?” 
she , seriously.

Fight Gas With Gas 


France Has Devised Defences 
Against Enemy Assaults 
France is prepared to fight gas 
with gas and has devised defences 
against enemy assaults on whole 
cities by disease germs, military 

officials revealed. 

A newly-developed defensive gas 
effectively neutralized poison gases 
which might be dropped on centres 
of population in air raids, it was 
said. Another gas, it was explained, 
would kill microbes released over a 
city. 

Prepared to invoke these new de- 
fences, military authorities said they 
were “not alarmed” by disclosures 
in London that Germany allegedly 
has studied the feasibility of flooding 
London and Paris subway systems 
with gas and germs,

few in the city calling back its for- 
mer employees. Negotiations were 
being made with a national radio 
network to broadcast a Tiny Tot 
series for a children’s half-hour pro- 


Camilla was the central figure. Her 
brain whirled with the exhilaration 
of so much attention and approba- 
tion, even while it functioned calmly 
and clearly with the execution of her 
plans. 

Finally, it was decided that she 
should prepare the stories, being the 
only person familiar with the char- 
acteristics and activities of her di- 
minutive people. Her salary would 
be doubled and an additional sum 
paid for each story. These would be 
comparatively easy for her to pro- 
duce,, because they would follow the 
same action as appeared in the ad- 
vertisements. The work would in- 
volve only a little more time, which 
she could now spare from her draw- 
ing board, and her remuneration 
would be doubled thereby, 

Then, the most astonishing de- 
velopment of all was presented to 
her. The radio manager insisted that 
the obvious person to present the 
Tiny Tots, by air, to her juvenile 
audience, .was the author herself, 
Camilla Anson. . 

Camilla protested, overwhelmed by 
the possibility, “But I can’t do 
everything,” she objected, bewildered. 
“How can I do ad copy, write manu- 
scripts and broadcast two days each 
week?" , 

“It is a pretty large order, but you 
can do it,” the advertising manager 
encouraged, “You will have a secre- 
tary to attend to everything except 
your most personal work, and the 
broadcasting after the first few ex- 
periences will become very natural 
to you. ‘We can arrange for the na- 
tional hook-up from here instead of 
from the New York studios-—-” 

So it was arranged, and Camilla 
returned to her apartment that eve- 
ning so thrilled and bewildered and 
dejected that she couldn't decide 
whether to laugh or cry. She sum- 
moned Peter and, secure in his arms, 
tried each outlet of her emotions. 

He held her close, scarcely believ- 
ed what his ears heard; that his 
Camilla had become’a national figure 
in her field, almost over night. He
